I have a few servers that need to run various scheduled tasks. I have used
task scheduler to schedule the tasks and used an account specifically
designed to run tasks on all the servers. Recently I had to change the
password for this account and it was a hassle because I either missed a
couple of tasks or had the CAPS lock on when I entered and confirmed the
passwords

Are there any utilities that will mass change the passwords on my scheduled
tasks for me, preferably something that might do it on multiple computers

You can change the password from command line using schtasks:

SCHTASKS /Change /RP password /TN "taskname"

By changing the password from command line, you will be able to verify
the password that you key-in is correct or not.
You can use the same line of command to change the rest of the task by
just changing the task name.
